Osaka isn't better because it alone is a better city. Osaka is better because it has a better location surrounded by far more beauty, places such as Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, and even Himeji are all within traveling distance. Kansai has it all. But the factor that makes Osaka the best City in Japan is the culture. Osaka is by far the most friendly city in Japan that I spent any time in. Kansai in general just has a far nicer culture that is more welcoming and friendly than other parts of Japan. Even Kyoto was exceptionally welcoming, despite its reputation of being exclusive (which doesn't really hold true). Kansai is the easiest and nicest part of Japan to actually live in.
Great video, highly informative. It's nice seeing how they each perceive each other. Being from the United States, I'm unable to decipher how to "read the room" like the people in Japan do. I felt like people in Tokyo were highly polite, while people in Osaka were more friendly and open. But I enjoyed the environment in Fukuoka the most, I think it was a mixture of both.
Fukuoka could be a nice spot, but its so remote that traveling becomes a problem. For me its too isolated. Osaka has everything within convenient traveling distance (Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, Biwako, so many scenic mountains) and its a great place to make good friends. People are just so welcoming and much friendlier in Kansai than other parts of Japan, in my opinion.
I just got back from Japan and I liked Osaka muuuuuch better than Tokyo. I felt during my 3 days in Tokyo that Tokyo is a soulless machine where everybody was a number but not a person. I felt that way about both the business there and the people I saw on the street. Osaka on the other hand felt like a big pleasant city. Tokyo was cleaner and "better run" but I hated being there. I think Tokyo is just the place people go to make money, that Tokyo is a business but not a home. (I also went to the outskirts of Tokyo and it was better but still a bit of the same feeling) People say Tokyo is best because it's so "convenient" but I saw nothing convenient about having to navigate through hordes of people to do anything, and I can understand how that would make people stop caring about anyone they see, just staying there for 3 days messed me up lol
Keep up with these vids dude, you're gonna blow up sooner or later! btw: Those 2 young guys were hilarious and I'm wondering what did he mean at 7:49 that the streets are unsafe? lol
Hey, I really appreciate your comment. It means a lot to me. He said “streets are unsafe”. I’m not sure he meant something behind it but I mean Japan is one of the safest country. I guess he was just joking around or something 😂
As a non-white but American foreigner who lived in the Tokyo/Yokohama (Kanto) region for a year and a half, it was ok for what it was worth, but I felt more "tolerated" than anything else. It was when I visited Osaka and the Kansai region when I started to feel treated like an American/equal and enjoyed Japan. And to be fair, that continued the more into Western Japan I went (Hiroshima, Fukuoka/Kyushu, Okinawa). Japan is truly a nation of (at least) two countries.
Tokyo is giant, so always new things to see but take time in transportation and everything more expensive, osaka is smaller so easier to move and vides is more friendly i guess
